Jean-François Dulac, the owner and manager of Auberge Aux deux Lions (The Inn of the Two Lions), is…read moreofficially my favorite person is Quebec. I hope all my relatives there will understand. He made our stay pleasant and fun from the moment we pulled up. He helped us park, helped us get acclimated to the hotel and the area, and seeing our stress level after our long drive, told us where to get a bottle of wine and showed us the patio. Aside from being completely charming, hilarious, and a total gentleman, he also made great recommendations for area restaurants and attractions, and taught us a bit of French and a whole lot of history. Mr. Dulac was completely unobtrusive during our stay, but made himself available whenever we needed him.
Our room at the Auberge Aux deux Lions was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We also made use of the common kitchen area on the second floor which included a coffee maker, a small fridge, and an ironing board. We stored leftovers and bottles of wine in the fridge and used the wine glasses provided. Though the Inn was booked to capacity during our stay, we never saw or heard another guest.
The Inn's location in Upper Quebec City is ideal! It is a close walk to Old Town and to fun shops and restaurants on Cartier Avenue and the surrounding streets. We spent a great deal of time walking around the City and we were happy we had a comfortable place to return to each night.
We will definitely be returning to Quebec City soon and will give Jean-François a call when we do!
